Nice find Z!  Not my taste, but looks like a lot of money went into that project.  Strange choice of vehicle!

Ummmm yea...... not entirely sure about the "must see" part. But meh, to each their own.

I too can appreciate the time, talent, & treasure that went into it, but would NEVER follow the same path.

You know, what has always left me scratching my head on projects such as these, where 26" (or larger) diameter wheels are installed, & they don't ever consider upgrading brakes.

All those tiny @$$ factory rotors & calipers, after lobbing on heavy @$$ wheels, can't plausibly believe their whips are going stop better.

My guess is they are not worried about stopping better.... i doubt that will ever see a track..

Not even for track purposes (which I agree, you'd be hard pressed to see there for sure, entertaining it would be though. I know I'd laugh).

But I'm talking just mere stopping as a DD.

It's laughable to sling not only the sheer weight alone of each wheel to the car. But factor in the added rotational mass, etc. Geez.

Then drop all that coin on rims, only to peer through them and spy the tiny @$$ lil dinky & typically OEM rotors to boot. Ha!

Just is funny to see.

Meh. Like I said, just interesting.

I can't imagine what size rotor would be necessary for it to look right though.  Maybe it just needs a big clamp around the outer edge.  Bicycle style.  LOL

No faith? I gotcha... no one wants to tear up a fairly new car... lol... if it only had a V8... but then it would be slower... last of the V8 interceptors... might end up being a charger... ha! Far from a Ford as depicted in the original two films..

Wife filled out the forum for the types of cars that may show up to pick up the kids from school....

"Ford SHO" was what she put down...I wasn't going to correct her.
